80: Song Xiangtong's tacit understanding

The next day.

Chen Qiu woke up in another suite.

This was a new one opened in the middle of the night.

It couldn't be helped; it was so damp that he couldn't sleep at all.

Dry and wet separation is quite necessary.

When he woke up, there was already no one beside him.

Then, he saw Song Xiangtong, who had already put back on her OL uniform, appear at the door.

Her exquisite face was radiant, and there was much more vitality in her eyes.

"Mr. Chen, breakfast is ready."

"Mhm."

It had to be said.

The evaluation given by the system was far too accurate.

As a full-time secretary, the level of comfort Song Xiangtong brought him was almost unparalleled.

In the suite, Song Xiangtong's care was even more meticulous than that of a maid.

She was just short of brushing his teeth and washing his face for him.

After finishing breakfast and leaving the hotel, Song Xiangtong consciously reverted to being a secretary.

She didn't mention a single word about what happened last night.

Such an obedient and sensible secretary gave Chen Qiu a bit of motivation for going to work.

After arriving at the company, Chen Qiu said to Song Xiangtong.

"In a moment, have Liu Qi come to my office."

"Of course, Mr. Chen."

After watching Chen Qiu get out of the car, Song Xiangtong's tense expression finally relaxed slightly.

Her heart was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

She clearly felt at first that knowing Chen Qiu for less than ten days was too fast, but in the end, it was her who took the initiative with a bold probe... Song Xiangtong herself couldn't quite understand her own thoughts!

Although she used to be quite bold, she definitely wouldn't have dared to make such a move as she did last night!

"Could it be that I've really been 'fallow' for too long?"

Although she had just gotten divorced, she had already been separated from her ex-husband for several years.

If it hadn't been for the other party's pestering, she would have divorced long ago.

It had dragged on until now, and she no longer had the courage to start a new relationship.

Even what happened with Chen Qiu last night was, for Song Xiangtong, more of a release as an adult.

Whether out of self-awareness or her duties as a secretary, she certainly wouldn't pester Chen Qiu.

She was several years older than Chen Qiu and was a divorced woman.

While the latter was not only young and handsome but also held a 30% stake in the Group, with boundless prospects!

No matter how one looked at it, she was not worthy of Chen Qiu.

If she used this to pester Chen Qiu, her future life would inevitably be a mess again!

Her past life was already miserable enough; now she just wanted to live a comfortable life!

Well, last night was quite comfortable!

If Chen Qiu didn't mention it, she would just tacitly remain a little secretary, which would be fine.

After parking the company's mercedes-benz s-class in the reserved spot, Song Xiangtong stepped out of the car with a relaxed expression on her pretty face.

"Sister Song!"

Just then, An Wan, who had been lurking nearby for a long time, jumped out, nearly giving Song Xiangtong a fright.

"Why aren't you inside clocking in? What are you doing crouching here?"

Song Xiangtong smoothed her hair and spoke irritably.

An Wan didn't respond.

Instead, she stood before her with a suspicious look, tilting up her youthful little face and staring suspiciously at the radiant Song Xiangtong.

"Something's not right!"

"Nine out of ten parts are not right!"

"What, am I even prettier today?"

Song Xiangtong crossed her arms, her slightly curled red lips fully displaying her mature beautiful woman style!

"No!"

"Today, Sister Song actually drove Mr. Chen to the company!"

"And you were even driving the company car!"

An Wan rubbed her pointed chin with her finger, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"I remember Sister Song was also the one who picked up Mr. Chen yesterday..."

"Hiss!"

At this point, An Wan suddenly realized something, her face filled with shock.

"It couldn't be that Mr. Chen finally made a move on you, could it?"

Song Xiangtong lowered her eyes.

You guessed backward... "You guessed wrong."

"Actually, I was too greedy for Mr. Chen and couldn't help but push him down!"

Song Xiangtong said with a smile.

An Wan was stunned for a moment, her face full of disbelief.

"Fine, don't tell me then!"

"It was probably just some miserable errand like socializing anyway..."

Seeing An Wan lose interest instantly, Song Xiangtong smiled helplessly.

Sometimes, telling the truth is even safer than telling a lie.

Inside the CEO's office.

Chen Qiu first asked about the progress of Liu Qi's recruitment work.

"There are 3 who are still in communication."

"Currently, 5 people have confirmed their employment, but they can only start working after the New Year!"

Liu Qi reported.

Chen Qiu nodded, not feeling surprised.

After all, the New Year was approaching; at this point, even if they started, they wouldn't work for many days, and they'd have to readjust after returning from the holiday.

It was better to just start after the New Year.

"This is part of the proposal. Take it and familiarize yourself with it. We'll be picking up the pace immediately after the New Year, and you won't be as leisurely as you are now."

"Understood."

Liu Qi took the thick document, but she muttered in her heart.

"You only came to the company last night, while I'm running around every day. Where's the leisure in that..."

Liu Qi strongly condemned Chen Qiu's behavior of being a hands-off manager in her heart.

Her time here with Chen Qiu was much more exhausting than when she was with Tang Qin.

"Oh right, given that you've completed your tasks excellently, I'll add another 10% to your year-end bonus on top of what was previously promised!"

When Chen Qiu's words reached Liu Qi's ears, this resentment-filled mature beautiful woman was instantly radiant again!

Her eyes were also full of brilliance as she looked at Chen Qiu!

She loved this kind of boss so much!

Please continue to be a hands-off manager after the New Year, okay!

I can still do more!

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. This is all part of my job!"

Liu Qi bowed slightly to Chen Qiu, then left the office with a cheerful and efficient stride, her heels clicking.

Chen Qiu smiled slightly.

As long as the work gets done, what's wrong with giving a little more money?

Then, Chen Qiu sat in his office and began to handle his work.

His work content was very simple: copy and paste.

The proposal provided by the system was far too comprehensive; even the breakdown of the core bidding sections for the early stages was clearly marked.

What Chen Qiu had to do was break down the items in the proposal and hand them over to Tang Qin and Li Cheng respectively, letting them execute the specific operations.

Once the personnel were in place, the infrastructure construction for the Cultural Industry Park could begin immediately after the New Year.

Then, Chen Qiu organized some materials needed for tomorrow's meeting.

After all, it was a meeting chaired by the city's future top leader; if he didn't show some real substance, how could the man feel at ease leaving his daughter here?

Busy with various matters, Chen Qiu stretched in his executive chair.

He took out his phone and casually liked the update Zhang Mantong posted yesterday afternoon.

Just then, he suddenly received a message from Yan Baiwei.

The address of a restaurant!

That's right, Yan Baiwei's father, Yan Li, was hosting a dinner for him tonight.

Yan Baiwei: "7 PM tonight."

Chen Qiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

7 PM again?
